Evan Mattson e56e6dad4d Python: Remove bespoke Foundry toolbox helpers; standardize on MCP for toolbox consumption (#5671 )

* Remove Foundry toolbox helpers; standardize on MCP for toolbox consumption

- Remove RawFoundryChatClient.get_toolbox() and its fetch_toolbox import
- Remove fetch_toolbox, select_toolbox_tools, get_toolbox_tool_name,
  get_toolbox_tool_type, FoundryHostedToolType, ToolboxToolSelectionInput
  from agent_framework_foundry._tools
- Remove ExperimentalFeature.TOOLBOXES from _feature_stage.py (no consumers)
- Drop toolbox re-exports from agent_framework_foundry/__init__.py and
  agent_framework.foundry namespace
- Update _sanitize_foundry_response_tool docstring to remove toolbox framing;
  sanitization logic itself is unchanged
- Update _agent.py docstring: 'toolbox-fetched MCP' → 'hosted MCP'
- Delete tests/test_toolbox.py (all tests covered removed helpers)
- Update test_foundry_chat_client.py: rename/redoc tests that mentioned
  toolbox but test sanitization that remains
- Delete foundry_chat_client_with_toolbox.py (bespoke toolbox API sample)
- Delete foundry_toolbox_context_provider.py (relied on select_toolbox_tools)
- Rename foundry_chat_client_with_toolbox_mcp.py →
  foundry_chat_client_with_toolbox.py (canonical MCP pattern)
- Rewrite 04_foundry_toolbox/main.py to use MCPStreamableHTTPTool
- Update provider/README, context_providers/README, 04_foundry_toolbox/README

* fix(samples): update 06_files sample to consume toolbox via MCP (#5670)

Replace removed get_toolbox/select_toolbox_tools APIs with
MCPStreamableHTTPTool, using allowed_tools=["code_interpreter"] to
select only the code interpreter from the toolbox endpoint.

Update .env.example and README to use FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_ENDPOINT
instead of TOOLBOX_NAME.

* fix(foundry): remove non-existent toolbox helper APIs from README (#5670)

Remove the 'fetch, optionally filter, and pass tools directly' pattern
from the FoundryChatClient toolbox documentation, as select_toolbox_tools
and get_toolbox were removed. Only the MCP endpoint pattern is documented.

* fix(foundry): remove residual toolbox docstring references and reproduction report

Remove REPRODUCTION_REPORT.md (workflow artifact that should not be committed),
and update two remaining docstring references that still said 'toolbox reads'
/'toolbox definition' after the toolbox helpers were removed.

* Python: Remove bespoke Foundry toolbox helpers; standardize on MCP for toolbox consumption

Fixes #5670

* fix(#5670): resolve toolbox endpoint from TOOLBOX_NAME fallback; add namespace regression tests

- Add _resolve_toolbox_endpoint() helper in 04_foundry_toolbox/main.py and
  06_files/main.py that prefers FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_ENDPOINT but falls back to
  deriving the MCP URL from FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT + TOOLBOX_NAME — fixing
  the startup KeyError when agents are deployed via azd provision (which injects
  TOOLBOX_NAME, not FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_ENDPOINT).
- Update 04_foundry_toolbox/.env.example to use FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_ENDPOINT
  (consistent with 06_files).
- Add TOOLBOX_NAME env var to 06_files/agent.yaml so deployed agents have it
  available for the fallback derivation.
- Update both READMEs to document the two ways to supply the toolbox endpoint.
- Add test_foundry_namespace_no_longer_exposes_toolbox_helpers() with negative
  assertions for FoundryHostedToolType, get_toolbox_tool_name,
  get_toolbox_tool_type, and select_toolbox_tools — guarding against accidental
  re-introduction of removed symbols.

* fix(samples): fail fast on empty FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_ENDPOINT; add unit tests

Addresses review feedback for #5670:

- In _resolve_toolbox_endpoint() (04_foundry_toolbox/main.py and
  06_files/main.py) change the walrus-operator check from a truthy
  test to an explicit 'is not None' guard.  An explicitly set empty
  string now raises ValueError immediately with a clear message
  instead of silently falling through to the fallback URL
  construction.

- Add tests/samples/hosting/test_toolbox_endpoint.py covering both
  sample modules:
    (a) FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_ENDPOINT set → returned as-is
    (b) FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_ENDPOINT set to empty string → ValueError
    (c) fallback constructs URL from FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT + TOOLBOX_NAME,
        stripping trailing slashes
    (d) neither variable group set → KeyError

* Address review feedback: remove extraneous test and docstring content

- Remove test_foundry_namespace_no_longer_exposes_toolbox_helpers (no longer warranted)
- Remove docstring from _agent.py _prepare_tools_for_openai (extraneous)
- Trim _chat_client.py _prepare_tools_for_openai docstring to one-liner (toolbox references no longer relevant)

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: remove remaining extraneous docstring from RawFoundryChatClient._prepare_tools_for_openai

Address review comment on PR #5671: reviewer noted the description
isn't warranted now that toolbox helpers have been removed. Matches
the pattern in RawFoundryAgentChatClient which has no docstring.

Agent Framework Foundry

This package contains the Microsoft Foundry integrations for Microsoft Agent Framework, including Foundry chat clients, preconfigured Foundry agents, Foundry embedding clients, and Foundry memory providers.

Toolboxes

A toolbox is a named, versioned bundle of hosted tool configurations — code interpreter, file search, image generation, MCP, web search, and so on — stored inside a Microsoft Foundry project. Toolboxes let you manage tool configuration once and reuse it across agents.

Authoring a toolbox

Toolboxes can be authored two ways:

Foundry portal — create and version toolboxes through the UI without touching code.
Programmatically — use the azure-ai-projects SDK to create, update, and version toolboxes from Python.

Toolbox authoring APIs (ToolboxVersionObject, ToolboxObject, project_client.beta.toolboxes.*) require azure-ai-projects>=2.1.0. Earlier versions can only consume toolboxes that already exist.

Using toolboxes with `FoundryAgent`

For hosted FoundryAgent, the toolbox must already be attached to the agent in the Microsoft Foundry project. Once attached, the agent invokes its toolbox tools transparently — no client-side wiring required — and you interact with the agent the same way you would with any other tool-equipped Foundry agent.

Using toolboxes with `FoundryChatClient`

Each toolbox is reachable as an MCP server. Connect to the toolbox's MCP endpoint with MCPStreamableHTTPTool — the agent then discovers and calls its tools over MCP at runtime:

from agent_framework import Agent, MCPStreamableHTTPTool
from agent_framework.foundry import FoundryChatClient

async with Agent(
    client=FoundryChatClient(...),
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant. Use the toolbox tools when useful.",
    tools=MCPStreamableHTTPTool(
        name="my_toolbox",
        description="Tools served by my Foundry toolbox",
        url="https://<your-toolbox-mcp-endpoint>",
    ),
) as agent:
    result = await agent.run("What tools are available?")
    print(result.text)
